A-ha... Oh, yeah...

The Abwärts concert last night was great! The SO36 is such a great location (ah, the memories, I saw my first Ärzte gig there.)

It was my second Abwärts gig and it was just like I remembered: loud and rocking. I got there around 8 PM (it takes me less than 20 minutes to get there :P) and as I was waiting to get in I heard people talking in Italian and trying to understand what Abwärts was ("Is it, like, a band or something?" lol) I turned around and told them that, yes, that's an "electro-punk band" and I think I convinced at least one of them, because I saw him in the audience later. XD

The opening act, Amplify, wasn't bad, but man, they were so... young. When I saw them I thought "They are... children!" *feels old*

Before the concert I met black_plec and another girl I know from MySpace, then achtanablah arrived and, during the Amplify show, killer_ameise and Melina. I meet more people here than in Milan. XD

Rod was fucking HOT as usual and really seemed to have a damn good time. Want proof of that?


<333 ♥♥♥

More pictures here. They don't look very good, I didn't put much effort in them, I just wanted to enjoy the show. :P

Personal highlights of the night: Rod singing "Kentucky Fried Chicken in a Pizza Hut, Mc Donald's, Mc Donald's" (as seen in this short video, around 00:19 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0IZFtXCgvw ) and then singing... Körperzellenrock! XD My God, that's such a running gag between flaschengeist and me, I had to write her an SMS after the concert to tell her. I couldn't catch the moment, but I have this short video as evidence:

Also, there's something so damn sexy about Rod singing "A-ha... Oh, yeah..." It's the way he draws out the "yeaaah"... *dies a little inside*

Almut slept over at my place and took the train back this morning, it'll take her almost 7 hours to get home, poor thing...

And next Friday... BELA B! Yeah, I gave in and got a ticket to Dresden. I couldn't possibly wait until the 6th December, I'm so weak. :P

PS Also, lo and behold my brand new icon. The Hand of God indeed...

EDIT: Just remembered a detail: the guy wearing the fez you can see in one of the pictures brought shots to everyone and when Rod knocked down his, he almost bent in two backwards. I had to think of that scene in the Schattenreich DVD when they're practicing martial arts. All right, it wasn't so extreme, but it was fun to watch nonetheless. Still pretty flexible for a middle-aged man. :P

YEAH, the SMS made my evening. KÖRPERZELLENROCK!!! XD

Rod looks damn good. But touring isn't good for his weight, I'd say. But it suits him. Still the cutest thing on earth! XD

Rod: "WHAT? That's just the light!" *huffy*

What did Frank do with the toilet paper? XD

And next Friday... BELA B! OMG! I forgot how close his tour is, next Sunday for me. YES!! :D

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Alex: "Sorry Rod, it's my fault. Your beauty is so immense that I couldn't capture it right with my poor, unworthy camera..." *bows head in shame*

Haha, Frank threw the toilet paper at the audience just before "Cheesy Shit Show". XD

Also, I'll add this detail that just popped into my mind: the man with the fez brought shots for everyone and when Rod drank his, he almost bent in two backwards (like he did in the Schattenreich video when they're practicing martial arts or something). Still damn flexible... ;)

Bela and Farin: "We know how to keep him in shape..."

Bela and Farin: "We know how to keep him in shape..." *roaaaarrrrr*

Oh, yes, I have to watch that dvd again. XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

*LOL*

Did Frank say: "Ich glaube das jetzt nicht?"

XD XD XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

And what does Rod reply? "Hey, wir haben ein christliches Publikum!" XD

Of course we are, Rod's our God! XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Ein rödliches Publikum. :D

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Word of the day: "rödliches Publikum"! :D

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Rod: "Well, I like the idea." XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Should we write our own version of "Vaterunser" dedicated to Rod? XD *feels blasphemous*

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

You write "Vaterunser", I write the "Glaubensbekenntnis"! Let's do it! XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

HAHA, I've just read the text of the "Glaubensbekenntnis" (in Italian) and was shocked to find out I can still remember it. The WHOLE thing. XD

So, should I write "Rod unser"? With stuff like "Unseren täglichen Rock gib uns heute"? XD

[achtanablah.livejournal.com]

Rod unser, der du bist auf der Bühne..XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Genau. XD

So, did you get home safe and sound? :)

[achtanablah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, everything went well and I only had to pay 5 euros.:)

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I remember it too. :D

should I write "Rod unser"? With stuff like "Unseren täglichen Rock gib uns heute"? Sure!! XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

This is all your fault! XD Could you check it? If it's correct I'll post it on moreloveforrod:

Rod unser, der Du bist auf der Bühne.
Geheiliget werde Dein Name.
Zu uns komme Deine Musik.
Dein Wille geschehe
wie auf der Bühne also auch im Backstage.
Unseren täglichen Rock gib uns heute
und vergib uns unser Fangirling,
wie auch wir vergeben andern Fans.
Und führe uns in Versuchung,
und erlöse uns von schlechter Musik.
Amen.

Rod unser, der Du bist auf der Bühne.
Geheiligt werde Dein Name.

Unseren täglichen Rock gib uns heute
und vergib uns unser Fangirlsein,
wie auch wir vergeben andern Fans.
Und führe uns in Versuchung,
und erlöse uns von schlechter Musik.
Amen.

I LOVE IT!! XD

Hmmm, then I have to do the Glaubensbekenntnis now, I think?

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's way too long. ;)

Let's see what other Rod fans have to say on the matter... XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

We only pray the version "apostolisches Glaubensbekenntnis" here, that's not so long. ;)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

We say this one (the one on the right):

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simbolo_niceno-costantinopolitano#I_due_testi_del_Credo

That's pretty long. XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

This is the long version for the really important days. I think, we only used it when the bishop visited us. ;)

PS: Visit "More Love For Rod"! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

It's been a while since I last went to a "normal" Mass (I went to my cousin's wedding last August), but I think that's the version we always say. We like being pompous. :P

PS I read your version. We are fucking crazy. XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

We are fucking crazy.
And close to excommunication. XD

Here, many people complain, that the mass is too long, so they try to keep it short. But depends on the priest and his personal taste and his grade of conservatism. ;)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

HAHA, if I think I used to sing in the church choir... XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

My career in the children's church choir ended with eleven years. I decided, that I'm way to cool to sing in church. XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

HAHA, I think mine actually started when I was eleven. XD But it only lasted 3 or 4 years, then I just stopped going to church. :P

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

I stopped going to church shortly after my confirmation. I was twelve then which was two years too early, but nobody cared. We had a new bishop then who visited every church, so they decided that as many children as possible should be confirmed by him. XD

[achtanablah.livejournal.com]

That was..priceless.
*applauds*

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

HAHA, years of going to church when I was younger finally paid off! XD

[schwimmerin.livejournal.com]

Yay, glad you guys had a good time and got to see Rod! Still as hot as ever :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Abwärts concerts are great and Rod's always smiling and laughing, you can clearly see he loves being there and has lots of fun. :)
